Talking about the stock market (or real estate)
Last night at my son's baseball game the talk among the parents wasn't about double plays and homeruns. No, siree. We were all blabbing about the steep drop in the stock market. All of us there had been burned by the bottoming out of 1999-2000 and now worry about the same happening again.
Of course now we're older and closer to retirement. We can't afford to take a step back.
Funny how the average Joe and Jane now seem so versed in the intricacies of the economy. Just a year or two ago everybody was talking about making a killing in real estate. That conversation has since drifted to the stock market. Are we just looking for the gold over the rainbow? Is the little man (or woman) completely out of the league when it comes to the vagaries of the market, stock or otherwise?

It is real scary when the market falls and gas prices go through the roof, 10 cents in my area.
